How We Work
Most recruitment is reactive. Ours is structured, deliberate and built around quality of fit rather than speed of submission.
How We Work
We begin with the brief - not the job spec, the real brief. Our consultants meet directly with the hiring partner to understand the team, the culture, and what success looks like in the first 12 months.
We map the relevant market. Every solicitor within the target specialism, PQE bracket, and geography is identified and assessed. We approach the right people directly and confidentially.
Every candidate is rigorously screened against the brief. Technical capability, cultural alignment, career motivations, and commitment to move. Only candidates who meet our standard are presented.
From interview preparation to offer management, we oversee every stage. Same-day feedback. Counter-offer guidance. Start date planning. Our involvement continues through the first 90 days.

01
Every search begins with a proper briefing - not a rushed phone call. Our consultant meets the hiring partner directly to understand the team, its current dynamics, and what success in the role actually looks like over the first twelve months.
For candidate-led searches, we listen first. We learn what is working, what isn't, and what would need to be true for you to genuinely consider a move. The brief is built around what matters, not assumptions.
02
We map the relevant market. Every solicitor within the target specialism, PQE bracket and geography is identified and assessed against the brief. We do not rely on database posts or job-board applicants.
Approaches are made directly, discreetly and in person. Candidates are engaged on the merits of the opportunity, not pressured into a process.
03
Every candidate is rigorously screened: technical capability, cultural alignment, career motivations, and seriousness about moving. We discount approximate fits before they reach the client.
We typically present two to four candidates per role. Each profile is accompanied by a detailed assessment rationale - not just a CV.
04
We oversee every stage of the process: interview preparation, same-day feedback, offer construction, counter-offer guidance, and start-date planning.
Our involvement continues through the first 90 days of the appointment. If something is not working - on either side - we want to know early.
